    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    My daughter was definitely part of the problem. The hens were hers before they were his and she likes to handle them and he was not happy about that. He started to randomly run at her and I understood that he was being territorial but then he came at me for no reason and I tried working with it...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    He’s so handsome! Totally different coloring. I see it now. And his comb is much bigger and tail is more upright. I was so confident I pulled a pullet out of the bin at the feed store and then when the red comb showed up, I was worried. I’ve never owned a barred rock so now I know all the...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    Oh wow, I’ve heard of the double barring but didn’t realize it remained into adulthood. I assumed that coloring was only present in chicks. Thank you!

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    Oh thank god! I was thinking we were all good and then those feathers popped out and I got nervous. Glad you think she’s still a pullet. I’ll keep posting as she grows.

    Cream Brabanters

    I have another hen that seems like she’s going broody so they may be in my future! Loving all I’m hearing about them.

    Cream Brabanters

    Thank you both! They sold out before I could get them but I may try for more of another one of my hens goes broody. I love their look and it sounds like they could get along just fine. I do have a separate small coop within my larger one so I could give them their own space with the silkies if...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    It’s a barred rock so I’m hoping she just matured early. The comb hasn’t changed much.

    Cream Brabanters

    Hi all, I have a mixed flock of 13 - Orpingtons, Cochins, Silkies, a Speckled Sussex, and Barred Rock. Our local feed store has cream barbanters and I’m tempted to get 2. Would they do well with the others? The Cochins can be bullies to the silkies so I’m worried about the feathery heads and if...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    Ohh this is good to see! I think mine is on the same track. Really hoping she’s a she. My daughter loves her. I just had a rooster I had to rehome because he chased my kids and don’t want to deal with that again.

    The comb is pink but legs are gray. Hoping she’s just maturing quickly!

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    Updated pictures with better lighting. She’s 4+ weeks now. I actually wonder if she’s a bit older as the feed store said she was over a week when I got her.

    Are these mites?

    Ugh I’m so frustrated this happened. I’ve never had mites and got new chicks a few weeks ago and assume they must have come in on them. It’s like an infestation now! I cleaned everything out and ordered the permethrin as well. I’ll spray everything down once it arrives. Thanks for responding!

    Are these mites?

    Are these mites? I see them all over one of my ground nesting boxes as of yesterday. No sign of them in my big coop. I cleaned it out and sprayed with a poultry spray and sprayed each bird. They all seem fine, nothing in their feathers that I can see. I also ordered Electoral PSP and put lime...

    Barred Plymouth Rock - cockerel?

    I hope you’re right! I looked at the wings and leg color and everything when I bought her but the comb getting red so early is making me nervous. I also bought two buff Orpingtons and their legs are a bit thinner which has me worried too. Will update pictures in a few weeks.
